Here I am, over the first hurdle (unfortunately the first, not the only). My surgery was two days ago. I amazed myself with how calm I was leading up to it. Jason was terrific sticking by my side the whole time.
The surgery went well but my sentinel node was positive, which means I will need chemo. According to the doc right after surgery, it looks like it will be 4-6 months of chemo, but we will know more on Thursday or Friday. My pain level is moderate, but thanks to vicodin I am tolerating it well.
Last night was hard with the girls. Minna wanted me to hold her and Talia was just plain mad. But today is a little better and tomorrow Talia will be back at school which will be very good for everyone.
I'm tired, this is all I've got in me now. Thank you all for reaching out, sending love, flowers, cupcakes (YUM Erica & David!), balloons, texts, etc. I don't know where I'd be without my iphone.
As my father in law always says, more later...
